View: Atheists should stop joking about Satan

[Norfolk And Chance]

So yeah, that joke went well.

But - not my fault I find all religious beliefs laughable, and I call a spade a spade. Furthermore, I don't care if I offend any theists. They have a right to their religious beliefs, and I have a right to laugh at them.

Sorry but that's just how I feel.

I refuse to recognize that you are capable of joking until you get an avatar.

I couldn't give a flying shit what batshit crazy fundamentalists think of us.

You are asking us to be tolerable of the intolerable, which is absurd.

The sooner we can put those incongruous cavemen behind us back in the bloody dark ages where they belong, the sooner our species can move forward and become more mature and less violent as a whole.

They aren't, they'll rip theists apart all day long. If I was a cynic I'd say the reaction I got was because it was in response to a respected mod, someone they might even consider a friend - just as well I'm not a cynic.

I think that you can be selective about who you joke with. There are plenty of Christian's who realize that we are in fact not Satan worshippers. Remember that a lot of this takes place on the internet where people troll others just for simple pleasure of it all. There are certain people who I would never joke around with etc and part of the reason I come to this forum is so I can vent and satire brutally without having my name attached to what I say.

Overall if you don't joke about worshipping Satan by the Christian definition you are since you are not worshipping Jesus. There really is no way to win in the end with fundamentalist ideals. To serve self, according to Christianity, or anything other than God is to serve Satan. Damned if you do, damned if you don't.

I think a bit of common sense is always in order when choosing who to joke with. On this forum though... this place is a playground for people to come and vent their frustrations. People who come in here have to be willing to put up with all the sand throwing and shoving

I also don't know if fundamentalism is necessarily on the rise either but maybe the decline. I mean.... think of how "liberal" Christianity is continuing to get. I long for a day when any Christian is still here is a Universalist...... which would mean it just simply doesn't matter anymore.

Since you can't win, why not live your life in a fun way?

"I'd rather laugh with the sinners than cry with the saints..."

Seriously.

[Norfolk And Chance]

I have a very fun filled life and I agree you should live life that way.

Part of the immense fun I have comes from laughing at the god squad.

[Minimalist]

Now if you keep saying stuff like that, you're going to go and give atheism a bad name.

Yay.


Just because theists are humorless shits doesn't mean we have to be.

I'd rather laugh with the sinners than cry with the saints
the sinners are much more fun...
